Earlier on last year, Japanese video game maker Bandai Namco released its fighting title Jump Force to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the popular Japanese magazine Shonen Jump. As a celebration of the publishing house, the game features a mixed bag of many well-known characters that came up through its weekly issues.
Initially, the game was only available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Today Bandai Namco Asia announced that a deluxe version of the crossover title will be making its way to Nintendo's handheld consoles with a launch date of August 27, 2020.
